Why is it people who don't bite the bate seem so much more interesting?

I suppose the bigger question - should we actively start ignoring people if we want to get with them?

Why not try it and see? You could apply it to any situation - if you want a job, don't even try and apply for it, shun every mention of it and see how long it takes them to offer it to you.....

Wanting what you can't have or get is usually appealing.
